Description
PLC Compatibility
Edwards AdaptaLight Series 101XBRM Stackable Beacon is a unique signaling appliance which can contain up to five modules, stacked onto a single AdaptaLight Base Unit (as illustrated above). The 101XBRM series can be combined or stacked with any of the models shown in Table 2 only if modules have same input voltage. The 101XBRM LED Series is supplied in steady-on mode but offers a field-selectable 65 fpm flash mode. Up to five modules can be used in any position in the AdaptaLight Stackable Beacon. The AdaptaLight base unit (101BS) contains a mini pulsating horn rated 85 dB at 10 feet (3.05 m). This horn can operate as a sixth independent signal or with any one of the stacked modules shown in Table 2. The base unit has a screw-type terminal strip for positive hard wiring. Each module in the stack is electrically interconnected through solid copper busses and mating contacts to withstand vibration. Each is positively connected to the one below it by a solid throughbolt for mechanical integrity.
The electrical input load requirements for PLC compatible signaling devices are listed in Table 1. Signaling devices may be directly connected to output cards that meet these input load requirements. Unit is PLC compatible only when in steady mode.
Installation WARNING To prevent electrical shock, do not connect power until instructed to do so. This equipment must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes. 1. Mount the base vertically either facing up or down using one of the following procedures (Figures 2 and 3).
AdaptaLight is UL and cUL listed for direct surface or pipe mounting in non-hazardous dust and outdoor applications. The AdaptaLight may be mounted vertically with lenses facing up or with lenses facing down (on ceiling). The AdaptaLight is not suitable for outdoor installations when mounted with the lenses facing down. The AdaptaLight must never be mounted horizontally. Assemble and install in accordance with these instructions.
NOTE: For indoor applications, the base may be direct surface mounted, mounted on a 4" (102 mm) octagon box, or mounted on 1/2" NPT conduit. For outdoor (weatherproof) applications, the base must be conduit mounted vertically facing up.
The AdaptaLight modules have double fresnel polycarbonate lenses available in a variety of colors, each providing a 360° non-shadowed light pattern.
NOTE: A permanently affixed gasket is supplied on the base. Use care when handling the base unit to prevent tearing of the gasket.
a. Loosen the screw in the clamp ring, remove ring and set aside.

b. Direct Surface Mounting (indoor installation only)
Continue adding modules in this manner as required.
Remove the two knockouts from the bottom of the base.
Fasten the base to the surface using suitable hardware (not supplied).
Place the cap supplied with the base unit onto the top module ensuring the gasket is in place. Secure with an o-ring and 3/8" (9.5 mm) cap screw (supplied).
c. 4" (102 mm) Octagon Box Mounting (indoor installation only)
Remove the two knockouts from the bottom of the base. Fasten the base to the octagon box (not supplied) by installing the screws (supplied with the box) through the knockout holes in the base.
d. Conduit Mounting (indoor or outdoor installation)
Install a 1/2" NPT conduit (not supplied). Align the conduit entrance hole on the base with the conduit and rotate base until base is tightly secured.
2. Route incoming field wiring into the base through the conduit entrance hole.
Up to five 101XBRM LED modules or any other modules shown in Table 2 can be used in any position in the stack. The terminal block labels, 1 through 5, correspond to the stacked modules with 1 being the bottom module on the stack.
Connect field wiring to the terminal block as shown in Figure 4.
Ground the AC AdaptaLights to the grounding screw (Figure 3) in accordance with applicable codes. Place the connected wires inside of the base.
4. Turn on power and verify that module(s) and horn are operating properly.
Maintenance/Flash Pattern Change Refer to "Specifications" for replacement parts.
WARNING To prevent electrical shock, disconnect all power before starting work on unit. 1. Remove the 3/8" (9.5 mm) cap screw, o-ring and cap from top of unit. 2. Remove the #8-32 x 3/8" (9.5 mm) plastic panhead screw from the side of the module lens. 3. Loosen the slotted panhead through-bolt (on top module). Do not remove the through-bolt from the module; turn the bolt approximately 30 turns. 4. Carefully remove the module and gasket. 5. Continue to disassemble until the internal dipswitch on the top circuit is reached or the component to be replaced is located. To change the flash pattern, set the dipswitch as illustrated in Figure 6. To replace the pulsating horn, follow instructions shown below. 6. Replace mini pulsating horn.
Assemble the base unit and place the base gasket on top as shown in Figure 2.
a. Remove the screw in the clamp ring, remove ring and set aside.
3. To stack the modules, align the notch on the bottom of the first module with the notch on the base and press into position. Secure by tightening the slotted panhead through-bolt located on the top of the module.
b. Remove three phillips head screws from top of base skirt and the base/horn assembly from the top portion of the base (Figure 2).
NOTE: Never try to remove the through-bolt from the module.
Install the #8-32 x 3/8" (9.5 mm) plastic panhead screw in the side of the module lens (Figure 5).
Place gasket supplied with module onto the top of the module.
